He speaks thus of him in a Letter to his brother of the 21st of February, 1625 . "I send my father the Poem on the Mother of God. I would not however have it published, not only because the honour, distinct from superstition, given to the saints offends several of our people; but also because Pope Urbin is commended in it. He is an excellent Poet, as appears from his elegant Pindaric odes.
In 1515 "Rafahel de' Urbin, who is held in such high esteem by the Pope, he made these naked figures and sent them to Albrecht Duerer at Nuremberg to show him his hand." This shows us that travellers through Nuremberg sometimes brought with them something of the breath of the great Renaissance in Italy.
He had experience of the Orsini upon an occasion, when after the taking of Faenza he assaulted Bolonia, to which assault he saw them go very cold. And touching the King, he discovered his mind, when having taken the Dutchy of Urbin, he invaded Tuscany; from which action the King made him retire; whereupon the Duke resolved to depend no more upon fortune, and other mens armes.
His dramatic works are, Orinasdes, or Love and friendship, a tragi-comedy. Pandora, or the Converts, a Comedy. Siege of Urbin, a Tragi-Comedy. Selindra, a Tragi-Comedy. All these plays were printed together in folio, Oxon 1666.
